This sounds like a reasonable take to me. Not wanting to publicly talk about politics makes a person a fascist?

    Saying you dont like woke culture is very indicative. Very understandable not to want to talk about politics, but, with orange Mussolini in charge you would want no confusion where you stand unless you support him.

    I feel like professional entertainers (who aren't hateful bigots) can have a valid point about dislike 'woke culture', that's completely separate from "politics".

    The culture wars are basically integral to entertainment these days. Media companies are using rage bait to promote their movies.

    It's easy for us anons to throw salt when we can just disengage as our mental health requires.

    I don't know actually if The Rock is a facsist, but barring real evidence I think you're watering down the term here.

    There are two reasons someone wouldn't disclose their personal politics. One is they are in danger. The other is they are the danger.

    He is in danger, or rather his career is in danger, if he voices his political opinion, no matter what direction he takes.

    That doesn't disprove the second option mind you. But wanting to be left the fuck alone in the current hellscape that is american politics doesn't make you a fascist. It at most makes him a coward.

    If he said something in that ballpark, it's stupid either way. Especially if he broke that anyway because he had to be concerned about "woke culture".

    I guess I'd need more context, but The Rock isn't exactly someone I feel is being constantly prodded on politics, at least from interviews he chooses to take.
